I think they should just appoint the 10th place vote-getter, Tonya Myers-Phillips, to Hendrix's seat, or hold a special election for the slot in November. I don't get why this process of nominating people who did not even bother making their case in the municipal election is necessary.

As for Hendrix's decision to step down for the casino board position, I'll reserve comment.

Yeah, well, money talks, I s'pose. It's hard to blame someone for taking care of #1 in a down economy, but it's no great feat of public service.
